Movie # “Truth”
Movie “Truth” was an intriguing “Spotlight” -like film about Dan Rather’s eventual leaving at CBS, but the film really follows the Cate Blanchett character as producer (person making the major decisions). She was such a good friend of Dan that he trusted her, and the movie shows the domino effect —- where one falls, the whole squad does, including Quaid and Topher Grace, all good minor characters. I enjoyed watching how they got their story, how they got back up for it, and how the whole thing started to fall apart. I take argument with the plot synopsis below that uses the word “erroneosly” and it was more that they had found out the truth about Bush, but no one had the guts to admit it and back it up so the journalists could announce it without litigation. All the acting here was great, and I enjoyed the storyline and intrigue! I would give this 4.8 out of 5 stars!
